Rest Day
A great opportunity to look back over the past 10 weeks and assess your performance.
If you would like improvements in any areas I can help with some programming? So just comment me with any questions. I'm here to help. I can add a Ab workout each day or make a chin up plan or even program a 10 week plan to get you to the next Marathon.
Set some goals!

Rest Day
Today is a scheduled rest day!
Get plenty of fluids and good food. Go and have a massage or a light swim and watch your favourite tv show. Enjoy the break and we will go hard again tomorrow.
ps
even Tough Mudders need a plan for rest.

Rest day - February 5th 2012
Learn to rest, not all the time but for training. These are not cheat days, there are speciafically designed to let the body and mind ready for high intensity training. The 3 day on 1 day off method is key to high performance and mental and physical freshness.

Tough Mudder training starts tomorrow - January 20 2012
Rest Day - Are you getting ready for Tough Mudder?
Get set to build your all round fitness right here!!
A good opportunity to work on a skill. i personally like to work on handstands and walking handstands. At the moment I try to walk a couple of steps and travel about 1m - 2m each time and go for 15 minutes and see if I can increase my skill and balance.
Another skill I'm developing is my overhead squat with repeated movements with a PVC pipe and the same for my snatch. Just practising jumping and landing in a good squat stance.
Other good skills
- L sit
- Ring Dips
- Plank
-Muscle up
- Chin up
- Kipping pull up
- Squat depth
- Sit ups
- dead lift
You choose what you need.

Rest Day
3 days of training followed by a day of rest allows maximum intensity on training days with regards to motivation and recovery. Therefor I will not suggest any form of intensity training on a rest day. However, low intensity days can still offer great opportunity to prepare the body for better performance. I do recommend the following :

Therefor I will not suggest any form of intensity training on a rest day. However, low intensity days can still offer great opportunity to prepare the body for better performance. I do recommend the following :
- Yoga - P90x Yoga is the most enjoyable Yoga workout I have seen and I can do it from home. It is interactive, fun and very educational and instructive.
- Stretching - This can be 10-20 minutes or 45-60 minutes, it all adds up. Increased range of motion = ease of movement, better function and great capacity to use strength.
- Swimming - Zero impact full body workout that can be done at 40% of effort for enjoyment and technique training without ruining your ability to produce max effort tomorrow.
- Ice Baths - Any day of the week, fill your bath with cold water and throw in a brick of ice that you made the night before in the freezer * Fill an Ice Cream tub with water each night *.
- Foam roller - Foam rollers are a miracle. Or use a piece of plumbing pipe works just as well. Roll the junk and tension out of your thoracic, lumbar, shoulder, quadriceps, hip flexors and anywhere you can imagine.
All in all when you need to have a complete rest by all means do it. If you need to take a break and not see an ice bath, foam roller or yoga block ever again throw it in the cupboard and keep it out of site out of mind. Perhaps this is when you should get a few massages and keep your recovery program as interesting and varied as the TrickyFit programming.

October 22nd 2011 - Rest
Take it Lax
No training today as such
Take the time to practise a skill like stability from planking, L holds, experiment with chin up grip or maybe a light day on the rowing machine to get used to a good rythym. Today the training world is your oyster, save some energy for tomorrow though!!

October 18th 2011 - Rest
Why does food and drink have to be a picture of a cheese burger and soft drink. Has the world really come to this that the link we have to food is best captured by a picture of junk. Surely there are better choices!
ANYWAY
Take a chill pill Bill and put ya feet up!

October 10th 2011 - Great stint of training
AWESOME TRAINING OVER THE LAST 5 DAYS
You have well and truly earned yourselves a rest day to relax and let the body grow stronger fitter and faster.
Rest days help to repair muscle tissue and to restore normal function of the body. Giving your body a rest from lifting weights and pounding the pavement will aid strength gains, muscle development and give rest to weary muscles, joints and nerves.
Enjoy yourself
If your like me.... you would rather be training...I get the itch to do something tough but forced rest is necessary at times.
